2014-03-20T10:48:53 00SoChabran1I'm currently looking for a video intercom and I found the product "NovoSIP" on the internet which sounds interesting because it's connected to a smartphone and it's supplied with PoE.

But I don't know much about video intercom so I would like to know if someone knows about it or what you think about this product ? Or maybe you know another one that might interest me !

2013-10-25T00:09:00 00gmaximus 1This may be a bit of a long shot, but worth a try nonetheless.

I am a renewable energy professional with 5 years in transmission and 3 years in offshore wind, however I'm considering a return to academia to commence a doctorate.

I'm scrabbling around for information, help or advice. A couple of areas I've identified so far which fascinate me are:

- Large scale concentrated solar power development and integration into the energy mix.

I am right at the beginning of my search and trying to delve into the world of academia and identify appropriate foundations, researchers, academics and institutions which specialise in either of the above areas, or anyone familiar with international doctoral programs and their funding etc.

I write hear in case anyone who reads it has any particular insight they would be able to share, or knows someone who might.

Any suggestions are very gratefully received.

2013-07-05T22:34:31 00dlovelock2http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/news/new-guid-giftaid.htm is quite clear: "Charities may chose to replace their existing enduring declarations with new ones based on the new guidance if they so wish but there is no requirement that they do so." So why does themailshot say that my existing declaration is not now valid? Then again, all the information they need, except my signature, is printed on the letter they sent out. So why are they asking members to write it all out again? IET Connect could have done all this on a single pre-printed sheet and saved us all time and money. Has anyone up there thought this through?]]>I'm an engineer get me out of here.http://www.theiet.org/forums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=243&threadid=53006
2013-06-20T13:18:39 00amandalewin4I'm taking part in the event 'I'm an engineer get me out of here!' which is an online programme run over several weeks where students can talk to and question a variety of engineers.

Now the reason I'm posting this here is because they do different 'zones' and I'm in the Detection zone talking about my work designing fire alarm systems as well as general building services. They were going to run a computing one but couldn't because there was not enough interest. I thought this was a bit odd as there are loads of engineers that use computers or could link their work with computing.

I asked the people who organise is about their advertising method as I was only brought on at the last min and they said that because the 'zones' are sponsered by the STFC so the advertising has to be done through them so they are suitably represented.

So the point of my rambling is would the IET be interested in sponsoring an I'm an engineer zone?

I've been able to communicate with so many students just over the last 3 days (and the backlog of offline questions I have to answer is quite impressive too!) that I think it is proving to be a good way of promoting STEM.]]>Diamond Jubilee Scholarship Qualifications?http://www.theiet.org/forums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=243&threadid=52975
2013-06-18T16:49:21 00Chrisszzyy3I've recently had an email from my University regarding the possibility of me being eligible of applying for the IET Diamond Jubilee Scholarship.

I will be starting my first year of a 4 year IET sandwich course in Computer Networking in September.

There is only one question which I can't find the answer too on the internet or your website; Do BTEC results count for anything towards the Diamond Jubilee Scholarship or is it just A-Levels?

The reason I ask is because I've just come out of college completing a 2 year BND Level 3 Extended Diploma in Computing & IT and (Fingers crossed when I get the certificates through) left with the grades; Distinction, Distinction, Distinction.

Is this convertible to A-Level results for the scholarship?

Many thanks for your replies,

b) how many other IET Awards are there around which are also not listed?

2012-12-20T15:28:58 00docjohn14When the E&T got its present layout some years ago (I forget when), did anybody actually ASK the readers what they thought of the layout to be adopted?

Of all the magazines I read or browse in a month, say, which typically include the New Scientist, Steam Railways, Practical Classics and Guitarist Magazine, I'm afraid to say that E&T definitely has the worst layout ever!

Take the so-called Page Plan page. Whoever thought that this incomprehensible mismatch of arrows and squares could replace a Contents page?

Take the World News page. Another jumble of squares crammed with text. In fact, I believe one issue a while back had the colours so mismatched (was it black on blue, or vice versa? I don't remember precisely, just my reaction to it!) that apart from the layout, it was totally unreadable.

Take any article of length--in the current issue, my magazine is open at the moment in the Debate section, p26/27. Two pages of three columns each with closely spaced text like a wall of words with no spaces between paragraphs. You've really got to WANT to read the articles to put the effort in to read them.

It's almost as if the magazine is constantly trying to push across too much information in too small a space! Maybe it was always thus. (I don't have any back issues from the seventies so I can't say with certainty.)

Surely I'm not the only IET member who thinks that the E&T magazine has a serious readibility problem? Look at any of the four magazines I mentioned above, or indeed others in a magazine shop's racks, and see how easy it is to read those magazines. Then come back to E&T. If E&T were on sale in the shops, there would be zero sales!

Do we engineers not deserve a decent magazine to read about our chosen profession? Come on, E&T, please adopt a better layout! If you can't design a decent layout yourself, then copy the New Scientist layout. That works for me!]]>Cannot Login MyCommunityhttp://www.theiet.org/forums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=243&threadid=49750

2012-11-20T14:55:19 00manadasor5In the booklet there were Forwords from the CIPD President and CEO, followed by short articles giving an insight into the spread of CIPD worldwide and how through sharing good practice there is the opportunity to influence business performance, engage with policy makers and news of developing initiatives. The series of short articles is rounded off on how CIPD is continuing to develop and an insight into the people who make up the membership and the Institutes Governance structure. Completing the booklet is a summarised financial statement for the 12 month period covered by this Annual Review.

Reading through the booklet I am able form a favourable impression of what CIPD has achieved and the direction in which the Institute is heading.

While aware that Council makes an report at the IET's AGM, I am not aware of where in the IET similar information is readily available. While the costs do not justify providing a similar booklet for every member it surely should be possible to create an online version.]]>Recruitment Questionhttp://www.theiet.org/forums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=243&threadid=49242
2012-11-15T16:35:46 00DRGriffiths5Apologies for being a completely newbie to this arena but I would be most grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

My company is currently recruiting for HV staff across the Midlands and just about to launch an advert in the Profile Magazine along with ongoing postings on some generic job boards.

Are the forums the kind of place to advertise specific positions or try to connect with people who are looking for work or a new opportunity.

I understand that the last thing that you want to see is the forum filled with spam but I was thinking more along the lines of one topic that had some brief details and some contact information (no unsolicited contacts with members and no pushy, recruitment-like behaviour!).
